#not to be confused with 50 Shades of Gray

[cevansbrat0007]

Would you say growing pains Andy is dark or is he more Grey? I LOVEEEE HIM

If I had to choose, I'd have to say that Andrew Barber is gray. Afterall, his world is all about navigating through shades of gray. While he doesn't necessarily believe in doing everything by the book, he does like rules.

Especially his own.

Andy craves order. He needs discipline. And, most of all, he desires your submission.

He doesn't make friends easily because he doesn't always play well with others. But once that man lets you in, the moment he deems you worthy of belonging in his circle, he is loyal to a fault.

Andrew thought his life was over until he met you. He'd lost everything - his son, his ex-wife, his only shot at happiness. But then he saw you from across the bar, laughing with your friend. For a moment he was convinced that you were too beautiful to be real.

He knew right then that you were going to be his - that he would be willing to do anything to keep you. To hold on to the woman who single-handedly brought color back into his life.

Which also means that he can occasionally be a little...overprotective. He's also got a quick temper, which rounds out his jealous and territorial streak rather well.

But at the end of the day, he loves you - the one woman who colors his entire goddamned world.

Shooting Star

Before… everything, Shadow lived on the ARK his whole life. Almost everyone else got to come and go as they pleased. The professor and his scientists frequently traveled down to the planet below, either to conduct more research or to explain the results of their project to the military commanders funding Shadow’s very existence. The GUN personnel aboard the ARK, who stared at Shadow with fear and hostility, always left after a couple weeks, to be replaced by new, bright-eyed recruits who didn’t know a thing about the truth of the project. 

But there was one person who was with him, always.

“Shadow, what do you think it’s like on earth?” Maria asked.

“The professor said his life’s work was dedicated to all of those who live down there. He once told that the reason for his existence was making people happy through the power of science.”

It was a line Gerald had fed to him, to give to his granddaughter, naive by the circumstances of her life. There was only one person Gerald dedicated his life to, and only one that he wanted to make happy. But it was a lie Shadow was never going to contradict, especially when he owed his creation to Gerald, and his few moments of companionship to Maria.

“Shadow…”

They were looking out the windows on the ARK, at the black of space dotted all over by light from stars which could be long dead by now. The planet was below them, always below them, a vibrant mix of white and blue and green, brighter than anything on the ARK itself, constructed of sharp edges and dull shades of gray. The two of them were only on the ARK to keep Maria alive, so Shadow could be used to save her life, but neither of them were happy here. 

And if Maria wasn’t happy, wasn’t able to live her life, then Shadow’s purpose, his reason for existence…

“Maria… I just don’t know anything anymore. I often wonder why I was created. What my purpose is, for being here. Maybe if I go down there, I will find the answers. Maybe…”

His voice trailed off, and Maria looked at him with sad eyes. It was one of her better days, one where she was able to stand, and talk without gasping for air, but she still looked like a frail, washed out ghost under the harsh lights of the colony. 

“Maria…”

And so they remained there, stuck between the planet below and the stars above.

---

When he first met the other hedgehog, Shadow was unimpressed. He had known GUN was going to find some way to justify his existence to the world at large, but he had assumed it would be the GUN Commander, or someone who had been at GUN for over 50 years.

Instead, they had found a hedgehog, similar to him in appearance but different in every other way. 

Right now, that hedgehog was glaring up at him, green eyes narrowed in misdirected fury. The destroyed Big Foot crunched underneath Shadow’s shoes, evidence of how weak GUN was, unable to capture even an inferior version of him. 

Shadow should have left. He had done his job by stealing a Chaos Emerald, and decimating as much of GUN’s forces as he could in one night. He had a job to do, and he had to get to the ARK. From there, Gerald’s grandson could unwittingly take care of the rest of the plan, if he was half as competent as his grandfather had been.

And yet, he stayed. He blamed his own curiosity- this was the hedgehog GUN had elected to blame for Shadow’s misdeeds, the one who Gerald’s grandson had mistaken him for. Surely there was something special about him. 

“What?” the hedgehog said, clearly confused at Shadow’s appearance, and he smirked, holding the Chaos Emerald up high for the hedgehog to see.

“It all starts with this… a jewel containing the ultimate power…”

“That’s the… Chaos Emerald!” the hedgehog said, and Shadow saw a mixture of surprise and rage cross his face. “Now I know what’s going on! The military has mistaken me for the likes of you. So… where do you think you’re going with that Emerald?!”

Shadow said nothing, and simply glared down at the other hedgehog. It would be foolish to charge an unknown opponent directly, especially one with one of the most powerful items on the planet, and yet the hedgehog looked like he was about to do just that, ears pinned back against his head in fury and disgust.

“Say something! You fake hedgehog!”

Shadow didn’t bother to meet his attack head-on, simply tossing the Chaos Emerald up into the air and catching it again. He felt the power of the Emerald pulsing in his hand, bending and malleable to Shadow’s will- “Chaos Control!”

Shadow had planned to simply warp to the opposite building, hitting the hedgehog on the way, maybe hard enough to keep him out of any of Shadow’s plans. But even under the effects of Chaos Control, with the world slowed down to a stop around him- Shadow saw the other hedgehog’s eyes widen minutely, and then his feet skidded on the pavement. Slow, but still just fast enough to change course, to avoid Shadow entirely.

Shadow blinked, and then he was on the opposite roof. The other hedgehog wheeled around, alarm and surprise on his face, before he started speaking to himself again. “Wow… he’s fast! Hey, it’s not his speed, he must be using the Chaos Emerald to warp!”

So, he was able to figure out Chaos Control from only seeing it used once. But that didn’t mean much of anything at all, at least not by itself.

Shadow curiosity- and annoyance- was piqued. He had hoped to be able to eliminate the other in a single encounter. But their time together was already coming to an end. Shadow could see the human’s forces, military and police alike, approaching. What a shame, to not be able to get rid of the blue pest.

“My name is Shadow. I’m the world’s ultimate lifeform. There’s no time for games… farewell!”

It was easy enough to teleport all the way to the Space Colony ARK with just one Emerald, and the last he saw of the hedgehog was him flinching back, a hand going up to cover his eyes, and then he vanished from sight entirely, replaced by familiar halls that Shadow had already come to hate.

Shadow, still tossing the Emerald into the air, closed his eyes and considered the hedgehog for a second.

Fast. Strong enough to destroy a GUN mech entirely and be unharmed by the encounter. Smart enough to figure out Chaos Control without using it himself. But also stupid, to charge into a fight without knowing a thing about his enemy’s capabilities, and capable of being overwhelmed by strong emotion like a fool.

Special. But nothing too special. Nothing like Shadow himself.

---

Shadow hoped he wouldn’t encounter the other hedgehog again, that he would just remain locked in GUN’s deepest, darkest cell until Shadow was able to fulfill Maria’s wish. Sadly, the humans were incompetent at everything, so it wasn’t too long into Shadow’s next excursion down to the planet’s surface before there was another chance encounter.

“Hey, that’s…”

“That blue hedgehog again, of all places…”

“I found you, faker!”

“Faker? I think you’re the fake hedgehog around here. You’re comparing yourself to me… ha! You’re not even good enough to be my fake!”

“I’ll make you eat those words!”

Shadow had been intending to end it quickly. Gerald’s grandson had promised to destroy the entire island, so all Shadow had to do was kill the other hedgehog quickly, or find a way to cripple him and leave him here, to die in the explosion. Shadow was the Ultimate Lifeform. The other hedgehog was nobody.

And yet…

They ended up glaring at each other from across the clearing, both bruised and battered, but neither able to win. Emerald eyes were just as sharp as ever as they glared at Shadow, and he couldn’t help but be reminded of the Chaos Emeralds as he stared into them.

Shadow could see that the other hedgehog was exhausted, sweat matting his fur, and panting for air. But Shadow felt even more breathless, more out of practice and weak. 

It infuriated him. 

It was the beeping from the communicator that distracted both of them. “Shadow! What are you doing? Hurry and get back here right now before the island blows up with you on it!” The other hedgehog’s eyes widened, predictably. “Blows up?”

Had Shadow really wasted this much time with a single hedgehog? He jumped back, and didn’t spare another glance at the hedgehog as he fled. But next time, he swore that he would crush him. 

Somehow, Shadow knew he wouldn’t be lucky enough for him to die before then.

---

As it turned out, Shadow was wrong. The explosion lit up the entirety of space, and Shadow, in the same place where he had stood with Maria once, stared at it with nothing but contempt.

“I guess he was just a regular hedgehog, after all.”

---

But even after that, things continued to go wrong. Rouge’s betrayal, the truth about the project designed to create the Ultimate Lifeform- Shadow felt off balance, unsteady, even before he found his way to the one of the many long hallways leading to the Eclipse Cannon and found a ghost waiting for him.

“You never cease to surprise me, blue hedgehog. I thought that the capsule you were in exploded in space.”

The hedgehog grinned at him, and it stoked a fire somewhere deep in Shadow. “You know, what can I say… I die hard! You actually saved me, you know.”

Shadow glanced down at the Chaos Emerald the other held. The fake Chaos Emerald. “It was a Chaos Emerald, wasn’t it? But, there’s no way you could have activated the Chaos Control using an Emerald that’s fake.”

They started running, and Shadow kept up with the blue hedgehog’s pace easily as they ran down the hallway, but glancing down at their feet- the other was wearing ordinary shoes, and Shadow was wearing air shoes, designed specifically to allow him to travel at high speeds. Shadow grit his teeth. “So, there’s more to you than just looking like me. What are you anyway?”

“What you see is what you get! Just a guy that loves adventure! I’m Sonic the Hedgehog!”

Sonic. A regular name for a regular hedgehog. “I see. But you know, I can’t let you live. Your adventuring days are coming to an end!”

They fought, in space, above the planet and below the stars. And Shadow…

Shadow lost.

---

They didn’t see each other again. Not until Eggman won, and Gerald’s plan was complete, his message played across the entire earth so all of humanity would know what was coming for them, how their arrogance and cruelty had sealed their fate decades ago. 

And Shadow… thought it was over. Until another hedgehog, this one small and frail and foolish, reached out to him in desperation and hope and an earnest, true love for the planet Shadow hated and all the people on it.

Shadow had thought he would meet with resistance, and suspicion. Instead, Sonic was just confused, and happy, that Shadow was helping.

“Leave this one to me!”

“Shadow, what are you doing?”

“I’ll take care of this, while you run to get the Chaos Emeralds!”

Sonic grinned at those words, and nodded, grabbing his friend by the hand and running around the Biolizard.

The Biolizard itself, supposedly another ultimate lifeform, the prototype of Shadow himself, was so much easier to defeat than one small hedgehog had ever been.

But much like Sonic, it refused to give up, even on the brink of defeat.

The Biolizard vanished- teleported- in a flash of light, and then the shaking of the colony resumed, so harsh and sudden that Shadow almost fell over. Gerald’s grandson spoke to them over the communicators in the ARK, informing them of what it had done, and Shadow- Shadow didn’t know what to do. They had all thrown everything they had at it, and yet-

“Sonic!” the echidna yelled, dragging Shadow out of his thoughts, and he turned to see the two of them, engaged in what looked like a silent argument. Sonic’s eyes glanced between the echidna, the Master Emerald, the Chaos Emeralds- and then Shadow.

Shadow wasn’t entirely sure how he knew what Sonic intended to do, but he just did. It was unlike anything he ever felt before- an eerie calmness, and a sudden surge of confidence that they would win.

Sonic took Shadow by the hand, and led him up to the very top of the altar, where Chaos Energy burned and crackled, where the Chaos Emeralds formed a circle around the two of them. He met Sonic’s eyes once before he closed his own, unable to bear the trust that he saw in them.

He had no idea this was even possible, but it came to him naturally anyway. Chaos Energy flowed through the two of them, and when Shadow opened his eyes he met ruby red on the other side, flickering like fire.

“Come on!” Super Sonic said, a grin of pure excitement on his face. “Let’s go save the world!”

---

The Finalhazard, fitting for a creation of Gerald Robotnik, refused to go down without a fight. And Shadow, despite feeling more powerful than he had ever been, was burning through his power fast. Far too fast for this fight, despite the rings he and Sonic intermittently collected.

And Sonic was beginning to notice.

“Shadow! Your power’s getting weaker! Hey, are you okay?”

Shadow grunted, and tried to focus on the fight.

“Shadow, at this rate, your super form won’t last! Get back to the Colony!”

Shadow landed a hit on the Biolizard, barely damaging it.

“Continuous use of your Super form will cause you to disappear! Get back to the Colony!”

The Finalhazard hit Shadow, sending him directly into Sonic, blasting them both back into space. When they both righted themselves, Shadow took a moment to glare at Sonic. Only a moment, they didn’t have any other time to spare- but Sonic seemed to understand, and gave him a small smile.

The fight didn’t get any easier from there, but things became more bearable when he and Sonic were working in sync, landing blow after blow on the seemingly-invincible creature. The ARK continued to get closer to the planet, and their communicators both crackled, the people on the other side first yelling advice, then warnings, and then pleas for them both to retreat to the ARK. Neither of them listened.

And even when the Finalhazard was finally beginning to weaken, its attacks desperate and wild, Shadow could tell that he and Sonic were on their last legs, burning through the last of the energy. He grit his teeth, preparing for the final attack, and glanced over at Sonic.

Sonic looked fine. His fur sparkled like gold, his eyes like burning rubies. The grin on his face was back, and even from a distance, the way he dodged each of the Finalhazard’s attacks, the backdrop of space behind him- he looked like a shooting star. He looked beautiful.

Sonic…

His light grew brighter, almost blinding Shadow, as he shot towards the Finalhazard.

I think I’ve discovered what the Ultimate Lifeform is…

The Finalhazard screamed, lashing out with all its might, lasers and bombs and flailing limbs. It was all worthless.

It might be you!

Super Sonic collided with the side of Finalhazard, landing the finishing blow, and Shadow didn’t watch as it died. He just kept his eyes on Sonic, even when he knew the other wasn’t looking at him. 

Eventually, though, even someone like Sonic needed help, and as Shadow saw him struggle to stop the falling Colony he flew forward, joining Sonic. A Chaos Control of this size and power was something Shadow had never attempted and he knew Sonic hadn’t either, but somehow, he knew that they could pull it off together.

Even if he was almost out of time. 

The instant he knew the world was safe- that he had fulfilled Maria’s promise- Shadow felt the last of his power leave him, and he plummeted towards the earth. It didn’t take even a second for Sonic to fly after him, attempting to catch him. Shadow knew it was useless, but he held out his hand anyway, hoping against reality that Sonic would be able to create another miracle.

He wasn’t. Sonic’s fingers snagged against his inhibitor ring, pulling it off Shadow’s hand, and he continued falling, with the expression on Sonic’s face seared into his mind. He closed his eyes, and tried to forget the anguish on it.

“Maria… this is what you wanted, right? This is my promise I made to you.”

Shadow fell, and Sonic remained far above him, a star he could never catch up to.

Ok imma clarify I HATE 50 shades of gray it's just abusive but hobie would make the kinks in it way better because he would do it properly

~🫐

Like I said, I don't think Hobie is bdsm levels of kinky. I don't think he does the whips and latex and all that, but he does have kinks that require some level of experience and a lot of consent.

Like- I personally think Hobie has a somno kink. He likes being on the receiving end of it. He likes waking up a little confused, his cock wet and aching, sometimes you're still in the middle of fucking yourself on him, sometimes you've already taken what you needed. It makes him hard again.

I saw your answer about how creative pieces in fandom are interacted with in a similar way that people interact with big for-profit media, and how the term content creator has become kind of a demarcation of that changed relationship, and I really had to rock back on my heels and think on that for a while. I'd sort of internalized that term without even thinking about it, but you're right. The way we consume media is so deeply tied to consumerism and brand marketing its kinda scary ngl.

hello!!!! and yeah this is a big, long-standing issue i've been silently observing for a long time and recently connected all together. for anyone confused - this is in reference to this post. i think the real start of this was the 50 shades of gray books but that's another can of worms to open so ill refrain unles askedd.

@/hawnks had some good tags on the phrase "content" and "content creator" in particular that i really agree with that i'll link here that echoes and reflects my feelings on the idea.

the idea that fandom spaces and people who participate and make fanart / fiction / media are creators create a sense of divide in a space meant to founded on community and shared interest. mint said something about how people in fandom are neighbors more than anything else and that resonated with me.

often i warn people about the writing space on tumblr for the same reason (though it's just. fandom overall). while i loathe the term content creator, there is a cognitive dissonance that also exists. in a sort of unavoidable way, when you start to write - people immediately view you as a figurehead because of the same issues i was talking about in the original post.

a writer like me or you or anyone might not view themselves like that, but because of the consumerism, because of severed ties between maker and enjoyer - there's a huge divide in community. a difference between a writer or reader that should've never existed and is truly perpetuated through the word content creator.

a lot readers / people who don't publish fan content as it stands view themselves as passive, unimportant participants. because fan works are not consumed as personal pieces but as big pieces of media - people also engage with you like they would a big, corporate production.

fandom reader and fandom writer / artist / editor are a symbiotic relationship. they're supposed to benefit and depend on each other and have completely equal value. i am no different than the people who send me anons, or asks, or comment on my fics and im not meant to be. im just a guy who writes and i am desperately looking for a guy who reads to bring me joy with a like, rb or comment. that engagement is fuel for me and so are those brief connections.

but because that has detiorated over time and how people engage with fandom has changed so much - it creates this weird liminal space for people who decide to put their writing or art or edits or memes out. the dynamic has changed in an intense and uncomfortable way and it's not anyone fault

when people treat you as a figurehead when you haven't asked to be, haven't marketed yourself that way - how do you deal? when your position is no longer passive and people are suddenly seeking you out for input?

i think the way consumerism in fandom has fucked over the people who still love and enjoy it is what has bothered me most. it's frustrating and complicated and no one group is particularly to blame so i avoid talking about it but it really does suck

[bookwyrminspiration]

did you know that there is a book that is 50 shades of gray (not to be confused with fiftuy shades of grey)

its literally just 50 shades of gray

I did!! Though admittedly my learning of it was recent. Apparently it's now difficult to find because it's no longer in print, given its title's proximity to the 50 shades trilogy. Something about a lawsuit I believe

But also it's incredibly difficult to look up information on it, as google assumes you meant "grey" when you said "gray". And enough people mistakenly call the BDSM books 50 Shades of Gray that it's more work than it feels it's worth to try and parse through it all to find what you're looking for

I find the concept of the book entertaining, though I don't want one for myself

Rules of Our Discord Server

Disclaimer: We know people are likely tired of having to read through another set of rules when joining a server, but we want this to be a safe space for everyone. That means that some rules that should not have to be mentioned, because they are common sense, need to be addressed anyway. Not everyone that is using the internet and off age knows how to behave. That being said:

Please be sure to read through the rules thoroughly. If there are any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to bring them up.

Our Server is only for people 18+ because of its sensitive nature. It is no longer invite only, but I hope that anyone that reads till the end of this rule page will respect our wishes of only joining if they are of age in their respective countries.

What happens in the server, stays in the server. Not everyone wants it to be known that they are an Ardynoct fan or feel comfortable in other ways sharing it outside. So please respect that.

Don't spread or give out any personal information that's been said inside the server, **including** the member list. Always ask permission first if you intend to share something from inside this server that has not been put out yet.

Be respectful. Everyone is here to have a good time talking about Ardynoct. Any forms of harassment, racism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry and the likes thereof will not be tolerated.

Be mindful of where you're posting. Please keep your posts to the appropriate channels, especially when it comes to NSFW and sensitive content as we have specific channels in place for this type of content. If you are unsure where to put something, please ask.

If the conversation begins to shift into territory you don't like, sometimes it's best to agree to disagree and walk away from said conversation. That means no fandom shaming. We all have different likes, dislikes, OTPs, NOTPs, HCs, etc.

Suggestions are welcome! If you have any suggestions for the server as a whole, like a new channel, or have a question about something, please let me know in a Dm or otherwise. 

Please don't leave and come back into the server multiple times. Perhaps life has you a little stressed out and you need to step away. This is fine, but making a habit of it can send the wrong message that this behavior is okay, and can make it difficult for people to want to reach out to you to chat. We recommend muting the server as a whole.

What belongs where?

We all know that this ship is often anything but sunshine and roses so there is more than one nsfw channel here. Confusing, right? First of all, no one's gonna chop your head off when you accidently post in the wrong nsfw channel but please move it to the appropriate one if asked to do so.

We expect people to use their own judgment most of the time for what goes where, but for a general rule of thumb:

Is it hornier than 50 shades of gray? ABO? Furries? tentacles?  into -> extra spicy

There's blood? Maybe even gore? into -> dark

We're also highly encouraging the use of spoilers and content warning on sensitive topics. Some things are more upsetting than others for different people.

Art. Please use links to the original art and repost art because it is easier. It is not enough to add the name of the artist. We want to get as much exposure as possible! If you found the art reposted on another site and weren’t able to find the original post, it is okay to post, asking others for help in finding the source. We’d only ask that it gets deleted after the right link has been found and posted. It won’t always be possible, because some art has been deleted by the original artists but please try to honor the work they put into giving us amazing and FREE art by putting some effort into finding the source.

Promotion. Everyone is allowed to promote any channel, social media, art, zines, whatever really. 

What we do ask is that if you intend to post about the same thing more than once, delete the older posts and not promote the same thing more than once a week. Aka don't spam.

No, nonono NO! We are all aware that liking something does not mean participating in it or glorifying a subject. Here comes the big BUT

In this server there will be no sharing or discussing of any kind and form of minors being sexualised. That is where we draw the line.

Please do not moderate the server. While a gentle nudge to move a conversation from one channel to another is fine, it doesn't have to happen all the time. Please reach out to me if you feel something needs to be addressed.

If an issues arise between you and another member, and you do not feel comfortable speaking to them directly about it, please contact us directly. We cannot promise to be a mediator for you, but we will try to help where we can. 

If behavior is brought to our attention that is disturbing multiple members it may result in a ban.

Lmao, I just saw a post calling out Doms as glorified brats that get angry when they don't get what they want.

Lmao. Tell me your only knowledge of Dom/sub relationships comes from 50 Shades of Gray without telling me.

For those of you confused, a dominant in a kink relationship generally takes charge of and is in control, with the submissive in a passive role. You'll find that in general, kink relationships involve much more in the way of explicitly given consent than most vanilla ones. Subs can always revoke consent, usually through a safeword.

If a Dom punishes a sub, it's usually within mutually-agreed upon parameters for a scene. Most kink scenes will, in fact, be oriented towards the sub's needs and wants.

Personally, I prefer the "human in a hoodie" over the over-designed nightmares some of you have. I'd much rather draw a "plain" or average looking character than strain my eyes drawing some one's furry with 70 shades of brown or gray (with patterning using all these colors on its face) and confusing markings, or a human who wears apparently so many layers it makes you wonder how they get dressed in the morning, all of which with their own intricate patterning and 50 chains for some reason. So, I'm going to posit that some of you aren't getting art because your designs are too much and not worth drawing for free.

What in the 50 shades of gray

*Looks confused* What is it?

[therantingdiaries]

365 Days

*Spoilers*

I randomly came across this movie while doom scrolling on Instagram. Someone in the comments said it was like an Italian 50 Shades of Gray movie, so I decided to check it out.

Overall, I wasn't a fan of it. The premise of the movie is a mafia boss kidnaps a woman he is infatuated with and gives her 365 days to fall in love with him. He says that he won't touch her without consent but gets a little handsy in some situations because he doesn't know how to control himself.

I don't dislike the premise of the movie like many others do. What I disliked was the weird cuts to different scenes, the dialogue seemed incomplete at times or jumpy, and there was a lot of random music and shopping scenes.

The ending also seemed really abrupt; I'm confused on how she even died. And when Massimo found out, he seemed almost indifferent despite him shooting off some guy's hand that was attempting to rape her in an earlier scene.

Apparently, this and the other two movies are based on a book series that are best sellers, which leads me to believe the books are probably better than the movies.

But I wouldn't really say it's anywhere near 50 Shades of Gray other than there are some BDSM elements.

Time, Space, and Sweets: Chapter 2

Silver the Hedgehog and Blaze the Cat meet up with Amy Rose and buy flowers.

Note: In this fic, everyone's a year older (Silver and Blaze are 15, Amy's 13, etc)

~~~~~

Florist, mid afternoon:

Silver and Blaze arrived at the flower shop. It was called Hedges and Roses. It was a large store with various greenhouses for growing flowers in various conditions.

"Let's go!" Silver was excited to be surrounded by plants, but Blaze stayed outside. "Um, Blaze? Don't you want to help me pick out some flowers?" She lit her hands on fire. "Oh. Right."

Silver entered the shop and smelled the air. The flower store always smelled nice, and today was no exception. "Ahhh. Nothing beats the smell of flowers."

The employee working at the counter walked over to him. She was a pink hedgehog with green eyes. She wore a white shirt with a Piko Hammer design and blue jeans embroidered with red roses. In her shoulder-length quills was a red rose. Silver recognized her as Amy Rose.

"Silver! It's so nice to see you!" Amy exclaimed. She almost hugged him out of instinct, but stopped herself. "What brings you here?"

"I'm buying flowers for a friend." He explained.

"Who for?"

"Shadow." Silver told her. She looked at him with confusion and surprise.

"Are you sure he'll like them? He doesn't seem like the kind of person who likes flowers."

"If he doesn't like them, I'll happily keep them. I love flowers!" Silver chuckled.

"Well, all the bouquets from the Heroic Collection are on sale right now!" Amy gave him a catalog of Heroic Bouquets. Two of the bouquets caught his eye.

The first one had white acanthus, black roses, black tulips, red zinnias, yellow marigolds, and black petunias with yellow edges on each petal and red stripes in the middle. It was called Shades of the Past. It represented anger, grief, sorrow, and resentment, but also hopefulness, longevity, and mystery.

"It's perfect for him..." He gasped.

The second one had light blue irises, bunches of light gray baby's breath, white poppies, yellow roses, white acanthus, and silver edelweiss. It was called Bright Future. It represented kindness, friendship, bravery, optimism, and timeless determination.

Silver's eyes started to water. "I'm so honored to have a bouquet based on me." He wiped his tears and sniffled before speaking again. "I'd like a Silver bouquet and a Shadow bouquet, please. I'm seeing him tomorrow, so I'd like his bouquet to be made tomorrow, if that's okay."

Amy beamed in delight. "Sure thing, Silver! Your total is 50 rings. Would you like a receipt?"

"No, thanks." Silver handed the girl 50 rings plus a 20% tip.

"Sure! Normally customers aren't allowed in the back of the store, but we need to catch up, plus I want you to see the bouquet making process!" Amy exclaimed. "It'll be an hour at max. Is Blaze with you? She should watch, too!"

"Yeah. I gotta go tell her the plan."

He went outside, but he didn't see Blaze anywhere.

"Silver!" A familiar voice yelled. He turned to his right and saw Blaze walking towards him with three ice cream cones. One was lavender, one was vanilla and gray tea, and one was rose. The lavender cone had red cinnamon flavored sprinkles and a purple/fuschia cone sleeve with a blazing pattern. The vanilla/gray tea swirl cone had turquoise sprinkles of the default flavor and a gold/cyan cone sleeve with a silvery shine. The rose cone had golden default-flavor sprinkles and a red cone sleeve with a pink rose pattern.

She handed him the swirl cone and the teens licked their ice cream.

"Thanks, Blaze." He said between licks.

"I got bored of waiting." She responded.

Silver told Blaze what Amy told him: She wants to talk to the two teens and catch up.

"Plus, there's something I'd really like you to see."

Silver opened the door and they went inside. Blaze gave Amy the rose ice cream cone.

"You're too kind, Blaze!" She cheered, licking the pink drips off of the slightly melted cone. "How did you get ice creams that matched all of us?"

"Oh, it was easy, there was a Heroism lineup. There were cones based on various heroes. I got the Lavender Blaze, the Silver Swirl, and the Amy's Rose."

"Oh! Hedges and Roses has something like that, too!" Amy exclaimed. She reached for the Heroic catalog, but stopped herself. "You'll have to wait until my hands are clean."

"No you won't!" Silver remarked. He grabbed the catalog with his mind and held it so the princess could read it.

"Look on Page 3, Blaze!" Amy suggested with a wink. Silver flipped to the second and third pages and Blaze looked at the bouquets.

"Shades of the Past, Ice Cream Innocence, Tantalizing Thievery, Courage and Might, Ray of Hope, Bright Future..." Blaze read. She read the next one and gasped, nearly dropping her ice cream. "Princess of Flames... That's me..."

The Princess of Flames bouquet was a beautiful arrangement with a yellow chrysanthemum, light purple gladioli, flame tulips, lavender, light purple heather, and pink roses. It represented beauty, wisdom, strength, kindness, royalty, and a burning passion that couldn't be extinguished.

"It's... it's... beautiful. I'd like to buy one." She nearly cried.

"Is that all you'd like to order?" The pink hedgehog asked.

"Yeah. How much do I owe you?"

"25 rings. Would you like a receipt?"

"No, thanks. Here. A 20% tip." Blaze handed the girl 30 rings. They were a bit sticky from the ice cream.

"Want to see how I make bouquets?" Amy asked.

"Yeah!" Silver cheered.

"Sure." Blaze said.

The kids finished their ice cream and walked to the back of the store to the arrangement room.

The fundamental problem with characters such as Ursula and the shouting redhead supervisor in Wanted is, she represents a larger majority, rather than a minority, otherwise such historically infamous episodes such as Robespierre’s terror-regime couldn’t take place. In the exact same period is where the literary central figure of celebrated Sadism was invented as Marquis DeSade, describing the romantization of taking emotional pleasure in domestic abuse. The Cult-like phenomenon of the the popularity of 50 Shades Of Gray could only happen where the darkest aspects of Human Nature thrive. In short: the majority, rather than minority, are primarily controlled by impulse, emotion, instincts, urges exactly like animals lacking need for Education, training or even culture. So what does that say about women if they’re not cultivated, diplomatic, logical, reasonable, mature, composed, dignified and fair? It discredits many other facets of their daily practice of life. If we remove the Luxury of Villas, personal cars, trains, airplanes, makeup and fancy dress all we have left is apes. Shave off the hair, remove the clothes and what do we have? Example: A 58-year Old, White, female librarian weighing 100 kg stands among the books and looks at a 23-year Old male visitor. She looks directly into his eyes, she keeps his gaze for as Long as she Can livks her tongue around her mouth while she continues to state him blankly in the eyes. He looks confused after the initial surprise, looks away, grimasse shortly in discontentment. She follows after, stalking him from bookshelf to bookshelf intentionally trying ro catch his eyes. He tells her to stop, she now starts to Call him gigolo, loverboy, boytoy, himbo while her voice means and mimisks the Sound of a 10-year Old child. She tries to Sound like a baby, while she repeatedly attempts to initiate an assault on someone Young enough to be her child. But she won’t stop. She enjoys the discomfort he might experience. She wants him to feel uncomfortable. Her voice tries ro imitate the sexual act, while she tried to Sound as of she wants hil to picture her body interlocking with his much younger limbs against her folds. https://www.instagram.com/p/CjX8mMNNNSc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How would ROs react if they and Buttom were mistaken as a couple? :3c

Sally: Would turn the misunderstanding into a prank. "Yes, my partner and I had a blissful relationship until I came home to discover them cheating on me with . . . Well, let's just say I can no longer listen to Tenacious D." Her true motive: if she's joking, then maybe Button won't realize that she may be secretly pleased by the mistake.

Gray: His cheeks turn 50 shades of red, yet he's at a loss to clarify what exactly Button is to him if not his partner. "We're not . . . That is to say, we've never . . . I'm a friend of . . . Lovely weather we're having today, isn't it?"

Kent/Kenna: Doesn't outwardly react or bother to correct the misunderstanding. Acts confused (but is inwardly smugly amused) if Button gets embarrassed.

Glitch: Throws an arm around Button and plays into the misunderstanding while trying to use their mistaken coupledom as an advantage. "Thank you! It's our honeymoon." Proceeds to captivate the audience with a touching story about their imaginary courtship, ending with a winsome smile. "I don't suppose you offer any couples discounts?"

Rosy: "No." Glares down the person who dared mistake them for a couple.
